Paroles
1. Old Joe Clark's a fine old man
Tell you the reason why,
He keeps good likker 'round his house,
Good old Rock and Rye.
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark,
Fare ye well, I say.
Fare ye well, Old Joe Clark,
I'm a-goin' away.
2. Old Joe Clark, the preacher's son,
Preached all over the plain
The only text he ever knew
Was "High, low jack and the game".
3. Old Joe Clark had a mule,
His name was Morgan Brown,
And every tooth in that mule's head
Was sixteen inches around.
4. Old Joe Clark had a yellow cat,
She would neither sing or pray,
She stuck her head in the buttermilk jar
And washed her sins away.
5. Old Joe Clark had a house
Fifteen stories high,
And every storey in that house
Was filled with chicken pie.
